Occult Chemistry: Investigations by Clairvoyant Magnification into the Structure of the Atoms of the Periodic Table and Some Compounds is a book written by Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater and Curuppumullage Jinarajadasa. The first edition was published in 1908, the second edition in 1919, and a third in 1951.[1]

As its copyright appears to have expired, the book seems to be in the public domain and is available as whole or in excerpts on many sites in the internet.[2]

Occult Chemistry proposes that the structure chemical elements can be assessed through clairvoyant observations. The observations were carried out between 1895 and 1933. "The book consists both of coordinated and illustrated descriptions of presumed etheric counterparts of the atoms of the then known chemical elements, and of other expositions of occult physics."[3]

An academic criticism is available in Chapter 2 of Modern Alchemy: Occultism and the Emergence of Atomic Theory[4] and in an online article from the Chemistry department at Yale University.[5]
